1st September 2008 was the 1st anniversary of the launch of the leading New Zealand
based online microchip animal repatriation database. It has been a very successful
first year for the NZCAR with over half of all NZ vets registered to use this system,
along with 10 SPCA’s and 10 territorial authorities. Even though dogs are the largest
category of animal registered, cats are not far behind. Other species registered
include horses, ferrets, rabbits, fish, birds and one tortoise.
